I build apps (web apps, mobile apps, desktop apps, embedded apps, cloud apps). I`ve envisioned, planned, designed, architected, coded, configured, tested, documented, deployed, maintained, and supported many apps over the last fifteen years since graduating from MIT. Most of these apps have been built in a consulting context either as a lead developer, sole principal, or a contributing developer. For those I`ve led, I have an excellent track record delivering on time and budget and have multiple customers that will happily speak to that fact. My current areas of interest include end-to-end web development, Rich HTML5 UI (Angular, LESS, Knockout, D3, Underscore), desktop apps (WPF, WinJS, Office), cloud services (Azure, Office365, some AWS), and platform integration (OAuth, API interconnectivity, BI). I`ve been doing .NET Microsoft based development for 15+ years, often with an emphasis on the user interface given an innate knack for usability, and have recently had a lot of exposure to other frameworks and technologies like Node.js, Angular 1 & 2, React, TypeScript, ES6, D3 and have also set up a number of projects to leverage modern CI/CD environments and the associated tooling (e.g. Microsoft Team Services, Atlassian product suite); but I`m open to just about any technology if the project and team are intriguing to me. ©
